Overview

The Early Bloomer Greenhouse is portable, so you can set it right over your garden to get an early start planting seeds and an extended harvest in the fall. Two easy-access hanging rods at a convenient height run the entire length of the greenhouse to overwinter your favorite hanging plants. The Early Bloomer does not have racks, so plants must be hung from the frame or set on the ground.

It is ideal for tall plants or small trees - the 6'3" height gives you plenty of room to grow. The steel base makes it sturdy enough to withstand strong winds, and a large vent maintains plenty of air circulation for healthy plants.

Your Solexx greenhouse includes a 12”x12” aluminum louvered vent and a heat-activated opener! This new addition replaces the previous 24” x 12” Solexx Manual Louver. Despite its smaller size, the new louver opens at a 90-degree angle, allowing even more airflow within the greenhouse. It comes standard with an automatic (heat activated) opener, allowing it to open and close while you're away, without the need for electricity.

Optional Accessories 

You can find and purchase individual accessories here.

Base Vents

Base vents are helpful in assuring that there is air continually flowing throughout your greenhouse. This will create cross-ventilation and will ensure proper air flow to prevent mold in damp climates, and keep the greenhouse cooler in hot climates. Each base vent is 4" H x 9" W. 

Tie Down Kit

Tie down kits are used to anchor your greenhouse. Tie down kits will keep your greenhouse secure and stable even in the strongest winds. Assembly and disconnection is simple. Each kit includes 4 anchors.

Aluminum Louvers

As of 2023, all Solexx Greenhouses will now include a single, 12”x12” aluminum louvered vent with a heat-activated opener. This new addition replaces the previous 24” x 12” Solexx Manual Louver. Despite its smaller size, the new louver opens at a 90-degree angle, allowing even more airflow within the greenhouse. Additionally, it comes standard with an automatic (heat activated) opener, allowing it to open and close while you're away, without the need for electricity.

You can purchase additional louvers with automatic openers in a variety of sizes:  12" x 12",  18” x 18” and 24” x 24”.

Solexx Frame:

Solexx greenhouse frames are made from a pultruded, strong composite material giving them the strength of steel without disadvantages like rust or corrosion. White color frame reflects light inside the greenhouse, so more light is available for your plants. The hanging rods and the bench frames are steel reinforced, and coated with a rust-proof finish. All Solexx greenhouses are freestanding, and do not need site preparation or special foundations – just level the ground and it's ready to assemble.

Solexx Panels:

Strong and shatter-proof, double-walled Solexx panels will protect your seedlings and plants from strong winds, hail, driving rain, snow, and frost. With these insulated Solexx panels, you will keep heating costs low, and you can extend your growing season from early spring to late fall. Unlike other greenhouse coverings, Solexx adds more than double the UV inhibitors, and it is added as the plastic is processed, so it is not just a coating. Solexx panels create an evenly diffused light, so all plants benefit from optimal growing conditions. Prevents your plants from ‘burning’ in the direct sun.

Solexx panels are available in 3.5mm or 5mm thickness. The 3.5mm panels are recommended in most areas because they provide more light transmission. The 5mm panels add support and are used in very cold climates (for added insulation) and for areas in high altitudes that experience very heavy snowfalls.

About Solexx:

Adaptive Plastics, manufacturer of Solexx greenhouses and greenhouse covering, was first introduced to corrugated polyethylene plastic in 1986 and began manufacturing insulated twin-walled fruit harvesting totes for growers. After experimenting with the corrugated plastic as a hot house covering and seeing how well tomato plants grew under the material, the idea to use the panels to design a hobby greenhouse kit was born. University testing verified that the flutes in the twin wall plastic diffuse the light and capture it from various angles – accelerating the growth of plants. From this background in plant science, they set out to design an affordable, strong, and practical greenhouse that would be easy to use for all gardeners – the Solexx Greenhouse.
